is it one of those dual-bios motherboards? if so, just kill the power, and try to turn it back on. I think some of the gigabyte boards with d-bios have a switch on the board for situations just like this.

if not, and its the only bios available, then hope someone with more knowledge than me posts. I have never been able to recover a BIOS that was halfway through flashing and didnt finish...except with a gigabyte dual-bios. =(

Help! I don't speak Russian!!!

That board doesn't have a dual BIOS. Have you tried simply resetting the CMOS yet? If that doesnt work Im not sure if anything else can be done.

well, he can send the board to the manufactuer and beg them to fix it, (it might also help if you mailed a limb along with the usual bribes to have your board be repaired)
you could also look for a repair shop nearby thatll do it, but whether they will/can is another question

or you could buy a new one, sorry man, not much you can do with a dead bios, theyre often cheaper to replace the board than fix
